Scrapbooking with Kah-Mei Smith @ Papier

The first ever workshop organized by Papier was a blast. The Kah-Mei Smith workshop was just a combination of excitement, coupled with a little stress and tense moments but was importantly fun.

Although most of us did not have much time to relax during the session as it was quite intensive, our ‘guru’ Kah-Mei reminded us over and over to breathe and just take things in stride.

For those of us who attended both the ‘Best of You’ and ‘Each One’ workshops, we were able to pace ourselves a little better though we were still tired and a little less attentive (grin grin).

The whole day was filled with painting, trimming, stamping, embossing, pasting, and following instructions, all at the same time *gasp*... but we sure did learn a lot.

Overall, it was great having one of the scrapbooking ‘gurus’ at Papier. I believe that after the workshop, thought everyone was a little tired and overwhelmed with scrapbooking (you can feel that way every once in awhile), everyone felt a sense of achievement at having completed their projects. We can’t wait to have another workshop at Papier and we hope that you will be able to join us.

For those of you who missed out on our sessions, there are extra kits available for purchase. These kits come with complete instructions. For more information, you can call us at

03-7725 4815 for more details.

National Scrapbook Day @ Papier

National Scrapbooking Day finally arrived at Papier and boy were we busy!
The shop was packed with our usual supportive customers (thanks guys!) and heaps of new ones. There were ONE DAY in-store specials galore and also a make and take section where customers learnt how to make a cute mini album on the spot.

I hope that everyone enjoyed themselves... We certainly did.
Till our next Scrapbooking Day ~ Happy Scrapping everyone!
